Four Fair Faeries

After yesterday's serious post, I was thinking a more whimsical subject to be in order. So here we go--these four fair faeries are obviously related. In fact, two of them live in my garden, and the other two live in my Sissy Clytie's garden.

.

I just happened to catch these frisky little faeries as they happily visited together one fine afternoon--they were up to mischief in the roses growing along the wrought iron fence. You see the roses are red in my drawing? By the time the mischievous quartet had done their worst--my lovely flowers were resplendent in hot pink and electric orange with finely traced black stripes!Tchtchtch . . .

.

One might even think they were cousins. . .

I know, I know--I have a GREAT imagination! (But if I were one of those naughty little faeries, I'd have GREAT fun coloring those roses, just to see the look on the gardener's face.)

Thanks for your comment on my blog! It's always nice to "meet" another fellow tatter. If you look around my blog you will see there are TONS of tatters online! It's a huge tatting online community and so WELCOME!The email you requested is on it's way~!

They certainly look full of mischief all right...what a typical family portrait with the "rabbit ears" behind one of them -heehee. You must have the most beautiful garden by the time they are through with their magic...

About Me

My mother, Author Eva Gibson, says,"Everybody loves a story." These are the untold stories hidden behind each piece of my artwork. Some are whimsical or sad, others funny. There are stories rooted in science fiction and fairytales--some classical, others born from my imagination. Many pieces reflect my love for the Creator. Often, hidden behind my art, are stories from real life experiences. Indeed, over the years I've discovered the old saying is true. "Truth IS often stranger than fiction."

A midget who told me, when I was depressed about people making fun of me because we had no money and no new clothes and I was wearing everything second handed. He told me, "You are the only one in the world, make the most of it." -- Abe Lincoln, Artist, photographer (Ohio)

My Camera and Me

I carry my camera everywhere I go. Here you see one of my Cloud Paintings. I find unusual shapes, faces, animals in just about everything, especially clouds. Often I am able to enhance or "paint" my photos so others can see what my imagination has revealed.

What an honor to be a featured artist for this wonderful webpage!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I have not a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me Lord."-- Darlene Pringle, Artist

You've Got Heart Award

Life should be measured not by the number of years, but the love shared, the memories made, the joy given, the blessings received.
